The east road is long and endless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The day after they and Xichen's team entered the Guling Mountains, snow fell in the sky, the weather became colder and colder, and the surroundings became even more silent.
The official road gradually became a trail not much bigger than the forest path. The road is flanked by rugged limestone hills with various oddly shaped rock pines growing on the edges of the low hills. However, this is not bad, after leaving the green forest village in the afternoon, I saw a dense deep forest, and the official road became a small road that could only accommodate a horse-drawn carriage, and it was bumpy along the way.
The hills grew steeper and steeper, and by the third day, they had become mountains, like gray-blue giants shouldering the snow and steep rock peaks. When the north wind blows, long needles of ice splash down from the towering peaks like flags. When they left Greenwood Village, they took all the warmest clothes with them, but soon found that they were not enough. It's frighteningly cold here, and the temperature is dropping. The temperature of the night had already dropped below freezing, and whenever the wind blew, it cut like a sharp knife into their warm sheepskin coats. There are only a few girls' clothes in Xichen's ring, but there are no young men's clothes, fortunately, there are many wind leopards and other monster skins in the space ring, these big men divide the animal skin into two, knotted it densely with twine, and then put it on the outside of the coat to keep out the cold.
The mountains are on either side, and the road winds southeast through the woods. Liu Yi called this forest full of larch, spruce and black thorns, which looked older than any forest Xi Chen had ever seen, the "Snow Wolf Forest", and every night, the forest did hear the howls of wolves in the distance, sometimes not far away. Siyu and the girls always felt that this thing had an extremely unsettling feeling.
Whenever everyone stopped to rest and cook, Xi Chen noticed that Xiao Feifei, who was wearing a fluffy little snow leopard skin jacket, kept looking at Liu Yi's two brothers, with a strange expression on her face, as if she was a little troubled and puzzled. One of his two men had a scar on his face like a centipede from the corner of his left eye to the entire cheek, which looked creepy, and the other half of his cheek wore a pitch-black iron armor mask, as long as the two soldiers approached her slightly, she hid her head in Xi Chen's arms, and when she felt that they were no longer close, she turned her head and quietly looked at the two strange uncles, and the two small hands stretched out towards their faces far away, as if they could touch the centipede-like scar and the pitch-black mask, it seemed that the child was both curious and afraid of the two uncles。
The two uncles always liked to tease Xiao Feifei when they saw her, and whenever they saw Feifei, they would pretend to hug her or approach her, so she would hide in the arms of Xichen or the other sisters, and then do the same thing, which always caused them to laugh.
Although they are familiar with the map, Liu Yi and the others have also experienced many shuttles, but after five days of eastward travel, they deeply understand that what is said on the map is one thing, but in fact, there is something else, the thrill along the way, and the repeated attacks of the Warcraft Man-eating Tree have made the laughter of the whole team less and less.
The farther you go east, the deeper you go into the dark realm of the Snow Wolf Forest, the low pine trees, and finally the sound of people is gone, and suddenly you are independent.
No matter how they set up camp, Xichen and they couldn't help. It's all a group of big men, competing to do it. And Xi Chen couldn't help with the fire, it was Siyun and Dongmei who had two packs, and Siyu and Xia He were on the side. So he took advantage of the fact that Liu Yi and the others set up tents and shelters, took care of the horses, and Siyun and them made a fire to cook, and returned to the carriage to meditate and practice or read the "Basic Alchemy Formula", which became his habit.
"Mom...... Why, how did I follow the entire team before, and I often returned countless times, and I didn't see any demonic beasts or ghosts attacking. After setting up camp, one or two soldiers were left to stand guard, and a group of people returned to the barracks to rest, and one of the soldiers cursed. This morning, I have encountered no less than ten attacks by Warcraft monsters, large and small. When they first set up camp, they were attacked by a wave of protruding pigs, and although the protruding pigs were only second-order magical beasts, it was simply an ordeal for the soldiers who had experienced many battles, and everyone was now exhausted, so everyone would inevitably complain.
"Why is this complaining, who just started to say how much I killed him. It's only been a morning!" another bearded man quipped.
"Two little girls, can you have dinner?" the beard then shouted to Siyun and Dongmei. After a morning of fighting, tired and hungry, the pace of progress was getting slower and slower.
"Wait a minute, it'll be right away!" replied Dongmei as she walked in with a plate.
"Oh no, the four-legged eagle is coming! everyone be on alert!" shouted the soldier in charge of the forest guard to the east. The soldiers took the weapons they had placed with them and went out.
"Holy shit! Again, we're going to break them to pieces. Leave not one to spare. The soldier who had complained at first cursed again, but his hands were not slow, and he took his weapon and went out like the other soldiers.
Xi Chen raised his eyes and looked outside the tent, all he encountered now were some low-level demonic beasts, and he didn't need the help of Xi Chen and the others at all. It turned out that more than a dozen four-legged eagles attacked the camp from the forest on the east side, this kind of four-legged eagle likes to eat cooked meat very much, and I think it smelled the smell of Siyun and their roasted suckling sheep, and came to look for it. Xi Chen continued to close his eyes and cultivate, now he would generally only make a move when he encountered a fourth-level demonic beast, and this kind of battle would achieve training results.
In less than ten minutes, Siyu and the others walked in with food, and the soldiers also returned to the camp one after another, and they all began to curse one by one, and even Nie Jun, who usually had little talk, also started scolding, which surprised Siyu and the others, and they didn't expect him to have such a scene.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, enter the foothills covered by glaciers. The official road was no longer enough for a carriage to pass, so they all got out of the carriage and began to walk, the horses pulled by the soldiers.
Wei Yu and the girls saw that the trail was winding around the lush peaks, and there was a white spirit fox standing next to the path. They all stared blankly with their eyes open, this spirit fox was the most beautiful creature they had ever seen. Its small, smooth, white fur is stronger than any fox in captivity. It lifted its neck proudly, and its delicate little ears stood upright. Its blue eyes were more spiritual with its white fur, and it looked at them as if it recognized them. Then it shook its head lightly and walked briskly northeast.
"It's so beautiful! I want it, let it not go!" Wei Yu shouted as she stared at the direction where the spirit fox left, and several other girls also stared closely at the footsteps and chased forward, Fei Fei looked at the direction of the spirit fox leaving and looked sideways at Xi Chen from time to time, her eyes were full of longing.
Xia Xichen couldn't bear to see Xiao Feifei's disappointed eyes, so he wanted to chase after the other girls.
Liu Yi walked up to Xia Xichen's side and grabbed him. "Young master, what's going on, why are they all going?"
Xia Xichen pointed in a certain direction, "Uncle Liu, do you see it? There is a white spirit fox there! It looks very beautiful, and they like it very much." I'm going to get it. As he spoke, he chased him out.
"White spirit fox?" Liu Yi searched in the direction Xia Xichen pointed. "Where? I don't see—"
"Right there," Xia Xichen shouted. He took a few steps forward, approaching the Spirit Fox that seemed to have stopped waiting for him. Linghu nodded, took a few steps forward, and then stopped again to look at Xia Xichen. "It wants us to follow it," Xia Xichen took a breath. "It's beautiful!"
The others gathered around Liu Yi and them, looking at the young master and the young lady who were chasing in the direction of nothingness, with a look of deep concern on their faces, not understanding what was going on.
"I don't see a spirit fox of any color," River Wind said, his black eyes searching the forest.
"I'm not sure. Liu Yi said. He thought about it for a few minutes, and when he spoke again, there was obvious hesitation. "Although I can't see the animal myself, the young masters can see it, so we should follow them. Let's go, keep up. ”
"You're saying we're going to follow an animal we can't see?" Pei Cai asked, his mouth wide open.
"Yes!" Liu Yi said.
Soon, under the leadership of Liu Yi, the other soldiers followed Xia Xichen and them.
"This spirit fox is not in the right direction of the official road at all!" Pei Cai argued.
"You and I both know that there are no roads in the northeast side of the forest. No one has ever gone over there. A soldier interjected.
"It's better this way!" Si Yu suddenly said in a cold voice, "Didn't General Liu say that these demonic beasts might have blocked the official road ahead. Maybe that's the other way out. I think we should follow the young lady. With that, she turned around and left after Wei Yu, not even looking back at the other people's reactions, it was obvious that she was really used to ordering others. Pei Cai shrugged and shook his head slowly, but he and the others still followed Siyu forward.
Wei Yu and Xia Xichen left the official road that was often inhabited, and walked towards the northeast in the dense forest, Liu Yi and the others hesitated for a moment and dropped their horses and followed, in such a steep dense forest, it was difficult to lead the horses forward. At first, it seemed that Pei was right: there was no way. Wei Yu, Xia Xichen, they are like a demon to move forward through thorns and thorns. But suddenly, a flat road appeared in front of them.
Xi Chen looked at it in surprise.
"Who or what animal cleared the road?" he asked Liu Yi suspiciously, who was also suspiciously inspecting the road.
"I don't know. Liu Yi replied. "But this path has been around for a while. It would take a long time for the fallen tree to sink deep into the dirt like this, and its trunk was covered with moss and vines.
But except for the footprints of Wei Yu and Hong Fei, there are no clues on it. There is no sign of a human or animal walking here.
"Why hasn't it been obscured by the woods?"
Liu Yi couldn't answer, and he didn't have time to answer. Wei Yu and the others rushed forward desperately, and everyone could only try to keep up and keep them out of sight.
